Hi,<br><br>my plan is to give the possibility for multiple VoIP users within the same LAN to call each other using OpenSER as the SIP server. I found that if there is a NATed LAN, two different VoIP users inside the NATed LAN cannot talk to each other properly, because IP parts of the RTP packets are of the form of the local network and it is not acceptable by the VoIP software which is prepared for the IP of the router instead. (I hope I understand clearly what is going on here.)
<br><br>As a workaround, I found a suggestion in the internet: using rtpproxy with OpenSER. As I can understand, all RTP packets are sent to the rtpproxy process via OpenSER (nathelper module). rtpproxy will behave as a bridge between the two NATed VoIP clients lying in the same LAN. Both clients will initiate their RTP/UDP traffic on their own side and answers will come from the rtpproxy process just for the same UDP pipe. Using this method the clients do not need to allow incoming UDP traffic, only outgoing traffic should be enabled (which is usually allowed by default in most LANs).
<br><br>Here comes my question. I successfully set up OpenSER (version 1.1.x, but I will migrate to 1.2.x soon). I think I also successfully set up rtpproxy, but it seems that there is no real traffic between OpenSER and rtpproxy. Here I attach my command line for running rtpproxy (
